Description

Based on the monocrystalline silicon surface non-destructive nano processing method of tribochemistry induction etching
Technical field
The present invention relates to the nanoprocessing method of monocrystalline silicon surface.
Background technology
Nanosecond science and technology have far-reaching influence for the development of Modern Manufacturing Science technology, and as the basis of device miniaturization, minute manufacturing technology becomes the important directions that manufacturing industry advances, and reflect a national hi-tech development level to a certain extent.And nanometer manufacturing science supports the basis that nanosecond science and technology move towards application.Along with the development of device miniaturization, ultraprecise and microfabrication become the key technology of micro-/nano electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS),
Monocrystalline silicon, because of its outstanding mechanical performance and physical property, is widely used in MEMS/NEMS.Monocrystalline silicon processing method conventional is at present faced with the challenges such as low resolution, poor efficiency, complicated operation.Along with the development trend of micro-nano device microminiaturization, current technology is difficult to the requirement of satisfied following micro-nano processing.
In recent years, probe technique, because of its functional diversity, is implemented flexibility and is applied to micro-nano manufacture field gradually.The common probe processing method for monocrystalline silicon generally depends on anodic oxidation or rubbing action, and anodised influence factor is numerous and diverse, and high to the requirement of environment, therefore processing cost is high; And the scan-probe that friction induction method uses is generally the diamond of high rigidity, in process, 5GPa is greater than to substrate applied pressure, inevitably certain damage is caused to monocrystal silicon substrate, thus affect the service life of structure.In addition, " mask " that friction induction is formed generally depends on chemical reaction or malformation, and be somebody's turn to do " mask " densification not, anti-etching ability is poor, also limit the depth/height of institute's processing structure.
Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of monocrystalline silicon surface non-destructive nano processing method based on tribochemistry induced selective etching, the method, to substrate not damaged, processes the monocrystalline silicon nanometer structure service life obtained long; The depth-width ratio of micro nano structure is large; And it is simple, efficient, accurate.Mask in KOH solution etching process is obtained by wet process oxidation technology, and film-forming method is simple, with low cost.
The present invention is for realizing its goal of the invention, and the technical scheme adopted is, a kind of monocrystalline silicon surface non-destructive nano processing method based on tribochemistry induced selective etching, and its concrete operation step is followed successively by:
A, be the H of 98% by mass concentration 2sO 4solution and mass concentration are the H of 30% 2o 2solution is mixed to get mixed solution by the volume ratio of 7:2-3; Mixed solution is heated to 80-90 DEG C; Again the monocrystalline silicon of HF solution passivation process is placed in mixed solution and processes 25-35 minute, make its surface-borne go out SiO xthin layer; Then growth there is SiO xthe monocrystalline silicon of thin layer takes out, and cleans;
B, be that spherical silica probe is arranged on scanning probe microscopy by tip, A is walked the monocrystalline silicon obtained to be fixed on sample stage, starting device, control probe with the contact of 1GPa, according to setting track while scan scan at sample surfaces, make the SiO of scanning area xthin layer is removed, and substrate exposes;
C, isopropyl alcohol joined mass concentration be in the KOH solution of 10-25% mixed solution, the volume ratio adding fashionable isopropyl alcohol and KOH solution is 1:4-6; Monocrystalline silicon after the process of B step is placed in mixed solution and etches 2-60 minute.
Process of the present invention and mechanism as follows: the monocrystalline silicon after HF solution passivation is placed in the H being heated to 90 DEG C by (1) 2sO 4, H 2o 2process in mixed solution (being commonly called as SPM solution), be about the SiO of 2nm at its superficial growth thickness xthin layer; (2) under atmospheric environment, the SiO of monocrystalline silicon surface xlayer is removed gradually under the tribochemistry effect of silica probe, for follow-up KOH solution provides etching breach, and then completes processing.Because the method depends on tribochemistry effect, in probe scanning process, contact is far below the critical contact pressure causing monocrystalline silicon that surrender occurs, do not cause the yield deformation of material, the nanometer channel structure obtained remains monocrystalline silicon, therefore is a kind of undamaged nanoprocessing method.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects as follows:
One, the method depends on tribochemistry, and the contact of probe scanning process middle probe and monocrystalline silicon is only 1GPa, and the critical contact pressure (11GPa) surrendered much smaller than causing monocrystalline silicon, therefore can not cause the surrender of material.
Meanwhile, applicant finds at H 2sO 4, H 2o 2the SiO grown in mixed solution xlayer, when the contact higher than 1GPa, probe can touch monocrystalline silicon surface, causes unnecessary frictional dissipation, and may form non crystalline structure, and the structure of damage monocrystalline silicon, also increases the difficulty of subsequent solution etching; The contact being less than 1GPa can make SiO xremove abundant not, surface irregularity, the groove structure roughness that subsequent etching obtains is high.And the contact of 1GPa had both been enough to the SiO of scanning area xthin layer is thoroughly removed, and makes the surface etch behavior of follow-up pure chemistry can obtain the low groove structure of roughness, probes touch can not be made again to monocrystalline silicon surface, avoid frictional dissipation, not cause the change of matrix cystal structure.Therefore the nanostructured not damaged processed.
Two, compared with traditional mask fabrication technique (as thermal oxide, chemical deposition etc.), the present invention carrys out the oxide layer of grown silicon by the method for wet oxidation, and its cost is lower, and film-forming process is simpler and easy.
Three, the KOH solution in etching process and HF solution are easy to obtain, and etching process completes under normal temperature, normal pressure, and only need control etch period can obtain certain etching depth.
Four, the method has departed from mask or the masterplate of fixed structure, and the structure of processing depends on track while scan.And the scanning shape of this method, scanning center can be arranged conveniently by operating system, there is the flexibility of height.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and concrete embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail.
